Start the engine & let it idle for 3-5 minutes.

Stop the engine & park the motorcycle on its main stand on level ground.

Remove the oil level dipstick and wipe it clean.

Reinsert the oil level dipstick without screwing it in and check the oil level.

If required, add the specified oil up to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.

Reinstall the oil level dipstick and check for oil leaks.

Engines with Oil level window

Engine Oil Level Check

Check engine oil level in the oil level window each day before operating the motorcycle.

Oil level should be between upper and lower level marks.

Do top up if oil level reaches towards the lower level mark or every 3000 kms, whichever
is earlier.

Engine oil Top up Process

Start the engine & let it idle for 3-5 minutes.

Stop the engine & park the motorcycle on its main stand on level ground.

After 2-3 minutes, check the oil level in the oil level window. It must be between upper
and lower level marks.

Add the specified oil by removing the oil filler cap and filling till the upper level mark.
Do not overfill.

Reinstall oil filler cap & check for oil leaks.

Fuel Level/ Fuel Valve

Ensure sufficient fuel is available in your fuel tank for your journey. Check for leaks.

The approximate amount of fuel quantity available in the fuel tank is indicated by the
number of segments in the display/Fuel gauge meter in the console.

If only one segment is displayed above the red mark/If the needle reaches the red mark in
the fuel gauge meter, this indicates that the fuel quantity is low and the fuel tank should
be refilled as soon as possible.

The Hero MotoCorp Vehicles are categorized in to three based on the function of Fuel Valve,

Carburetor motorcycles (Fuel Valve)

Programmed FI motorcycles ( Fuel Injection )

Scooters ( Auto Fuel Valve)

The three-way fuel valve is on the left side of the carburetor.

OFF - At "OFF" position fuel cannot flow from the tank to the carburetor. Turn the valve "OFF"
whenever the two-wheeler is not in use.

ON -At "ON" position fuel will flow from fuel tank to the carburetor.

RES -At "RES" position fuel will flow from the reserve fuel supply to the carburetor. Use the
reserve fuel only when the main supply is exhausted. Refill the tank as soon as possible after
switching to "RES" position. The reserve fuel supply is specified as per our model.
Note

Do not operate the two-wheeler with the fuel valve in the "RES" position after refilling,
you may run out of fuel, with no reserve.

Do not keep the fuel valve between "ON" and "OFF" position while riding, since this
may drain reserve fuel from the tank.

Caution

Do not park the motorcycle under direct sunlight as it causes evaporation of petrol due to
heat and deterioration of paint gloss due to ultra violet rays.

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

Refill in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.

Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the where the petrol is refilled or where the
petrol is stored.

Brakes
Front/ Rear Brake (Disc Type)

Check operation and adjust free play if necessary

The master cylinder/ reservoir is located in the right handlebar

The master cylinder/ reservoir is located behind right side cover next to the battery.

Check for the correct brake fluid in the master cylinder.

Recommended Brake Fluid: DOT 3 or DOT 4

Ensure that the brake fluid level does not fall below "MIN'' mark on front brake master
cylinder parallel to the ground.

The level decreases gradually due to piston movement to compensate pad wear.

If the level decreases abruptly, check for the leakages in the brake system and consult
your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop.

Note

Clean the dirt and mud accumulation between the brake pads caliper and the disc by
using a water jet.

Always contact your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop for refilling of master
cylinder when necessary.

CAUTION

Brake Wear Indicators (Disc Type)

Check for correct brake fluid level in the master cylinder. The master cylinder or the reservoir is
located on the right handle bar
Brake pad wear

Brake pad wear depends upon the severity of usage, the type of riding & road conditions.

Generally, the pads will wear faster on wet & dry roads. Inspect the pads at regular
intervals.

Check the brake pads for wear by examining the wear limit groove on each pad.

If either pad is worn to the bottom of the grooves replace both pads as a set. Visit your
Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop for this service.

Warning
Always apply front and rear brakes simultaneously to avoid skidding of vehicle.

Brake Wear Indicators (Drum Type)

When the brake is applied, an arrow fixed to the brake arm moves toward a reference
mark on the brake panel.

If the arrow aligns with the reference mark on full application of the brake, the brake
shoes must be replaced.

Tyres
Tyres With Tube

The tyres that are fitted on your motorcycle are designed to match the performance capabilities
of your motorcycle and provide the best combination of handling, braking, durability and
comfort. To safely operate your motorcycle, the tyres must be of recommended type and size, in
good conditon with adequate tread, and correctly inflated.
Air Pressure
Properly inflated tyres provide the best combination of handling, tread life and riding comfort.
Generally, under inflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are more likely to
fail from being overheated.Under inflated tyres can also cause wheel damage in rocky terrain.

Over inflated tyres make your motorcycle ride more harshly, are more prone to damage from
surface hazards, and wear unevenly.Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If necessary,
install a new cap.
Caution
Over inflation / under inflation will affect the performance.
Inspection
Whenever you check the tyre pressure, you should also examine tyre treads & side walls for
wear, damage 7 foreign objects.
Look for:

Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replece the tyre if you find any
bumps or bulges.

Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre.

Excessive tread wear.

Note
If you hit a pothole or hard object, pull to the side of the road as soon as you safely can and
carefully inspect the tyres for damage.
Tread Wear
Replace tyres immediately when the wear indicator appears on the tyre. Check the tread wear
indicator for tyre wear.
Unidirectional Tyres
Ensure the arrow mark on the tyre is in the same direction as that of forward rotation of the
wheel, whenever the tyre is removed and put back in case of puncture.
Warning

Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction and
handling.

Follow all instructions in this owners manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.

Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on or tyre coming off the rim.

Tubeless Tyres

The tyres fitted on your motorcycles are of TUBELESS type.

To safely operate your motorcycle, your tyres must be of the proper type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated for the load you are carrying. The following
pages give more detailed information on how and when to check the air pressure, how to inspect
your tyres for damage and what to do when your tyres need to be repaired or replaced.
Warning
Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can
be seriously hurt or killed.Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding tyres inflation
and maintenance.
Air Pressure
Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides the best combination of handling, tread life and
riding comfort. Generally, under-inflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and are
more likely to fail from being overheated.
Over-inflated tyres make your motorcycle ride harshly, are more prone to damage from road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your tyres before every ride and use a gauge to measure
air pressure at least once a month or any time you think the tyres pressure might be low.
Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if they are punctured. However, because leakage is
often very slow, you should look closely for punctures whenever a tyre is not fully inflated.

Always check air pressure when your tyres are "cold" - when the motorcycle has been parked for
at least three hours. If you check air pressure when your tyres are "warm" - when the motorcycle
has been ridden for even a few kms - the readings will be higher than if the tyres were "cold".
This is normal, so do not let air out of the tyres to match the recommended cold air pressures
given below. If you do, the tyres will be under-inflated.
Caution
Over inflation / Under inflation will affect the performance.
Inspection
Whenever you check the tyre pressure, you should also examine tyre treads & side walls for
wear, damage & foreign objects.
Look for :

Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any
bumps or bulges.

Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace the tyre if you can see fabric or cord.

Excessive tread wear.

Carefully inspect the tyres for any damage, if the motorcycle hits a pothole or hard object.
Tread Wear
Replace tyres immediately when the wear indicatorappears on the tyre. Check the tread wear
indicator for tyre wear.
Unidirectional Tyres
Whenever the tyre is removed and put back in case of puncture, ensure the arrow mark on the
tyre is in the same direction as that of forward rotation of wheel.
Warning

Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction and
handling.

Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on or tyre coming off the rim.

Always use the size and type of tyres recommended in this owner's manual.

Note
For repair and replacement of tyre it is advised to visit your Authorised Hero MotoCorp
workshop.
Important Safety Reminders

Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on this motorcycle. Excessive heat buildup can
cause the tube to burst.

Use only tubeless tyres on this motorcycle. The rims are designed for tubeless tyres, and
during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the
tyre to rapidly deflate.

Tube With Puncture Endurance

Tube with Puncture Endurance is a genuine part specially designed for the tyre of your scooter.
Features
See the following drawings for the "Tube with Puncture Endurance" structure. It has a "fluid
chamber" filled with a special fluid at the ground side of the tube as shown. When a sharp object
such as a nail etc. pierces into the tyre, fluid is pushed out by the air pressure plugging up the
hole with the fiber in the fluid. Thus, the Tube with Puncture Endurance is designed to
minimize air leakage.
Note
Tube with Puncture Endurance is not designed to prevent every puncture damage of the tube Use
the Tube with Puncture Endurance on the scooter equipped with the genuine tyres. Note that the
Tube with Puncture Endurance are available in every size, which are designated for the tyres of
the corresponding size respectively. Do not use the tube in combination with the tyre of the
different size.

The Tube with Puncture Endurance is structured to be tough against air leakage when a sharp
object pierces into the tyre. Note that a foreign material can get stuck into the tyre no matter the
tyre pressure may look to be normal. Remove the foreign material from the tyre when it is found
during the daily check and repair the tube as soon as possible.
When the rim or tyre is wet with the fluid or when the tyre pressure is low, check the tyre for a
foreign material and remove it. Repair the tube immediately.
The fluid can come out when removing the foreign material from the tyre. Take care not to get
the fluid on you.
The damage that can be repaired is up to 3 mm in size. When the damage is larger than 3 mm,
replace the tube.
When replacing the tyre, select the new tube of the same size.
Use the tube with the specified air pressure.
To check for puncture before or after repair, inflate the tube as large as the tyre inner dia meter
size (i.e. to the degree that maintains the cylinder of the tube). On the fluid chamber side, this can
be checked with the fluid oozing out of the chamber, excessive inflation of the tube will cause
the air to enter the fluid chamber, deteriorating the puncture function. (the material of liquid: anti
freeze mixture, fiber, etc)
Caution
Wash out the fluid thoroughly with water when it gets on your skin or in your eyes and get the
medical attention promptly.
Damages to which Tube with Puncture Endurance is not effective:
(1) Burst
(2) Damage outside the grounding surface of the tyre (e.g. rim, sides of tyre, etc, that are not
mounted with the fluid chamber)
(3) Damaged or rubbed with a rusted nail, etc.
(4) Large damage or L- shaped damage
(5) Damages resulted from neglect of the above note.

Drive Chain
Non Sealed Type

The service life of the drive chain is dependent upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor
maintenance can cause premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets. The drive
chain should be checked and lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection. Under severe usage, or
when the motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty areas, more frequent maintenance will be
necessary.
Inspection

Turn the engine "OFF", park the motorcycle on its main stand and shift the transmission
to neutral. Remove hole cap.

Drive chain slack should be adjusted to allow approximately 25 mm vertical movement

by hand.

Rotate the wheel and check drive chain slack as the wheel rotates. Drive chain slack
should remain constant as the wheel rotates. If the chain is slack in one section and tight
in another, some links are kinked and binding. Binding can be eliminated by frequent
lubrication.

Turn the chain to view chain lock plate inside the hole. Ensure that the chain lock plate
open end is installed in the opposite direction of the chain rotation.
Inspect the sprocket teeth for wear or damage.

If the drive chain or sprockets are excessively worn or damaged, they should be replaced.
Never use a new chain with worn out sprockets since this will result in rapid chain wear.

Adjustment

Park the motorcycle on its main stand with the transmission in neutral and the ignition
switch in "OFF" position.

Loosen the rear axle nut and sleeve nut.

Loosen the drive chain lock nut.

Turn both the adjusting nuts in an equal number of turns until the correct drive chain
slack is obtained. Turn the adjusting nut clockwise to decrease the slack or anticlockwise
to increase the slack of the chain.

Align the chain adjuster index mark with the corresponding scale graduations on both the
sides of the swing arm equally.

If the drive chain slack is excessive when the rear axle is moved to the farthest limit of
adjustment, the drive chain is worn and must be replaced.

Tighten the rear axle nut and sleeve nut.

- Rear axle nut torque: 5.4 kgf-m.
- Sleeve nut torque: 4.4 kgf-m.

Check the drive chain slack again.

Rear brake pedal free play and stop lamp switch free play are affected when repositioning
the rear wheel to adjust drive chain slack. Check rear brake pedal free play and adjust as
necessary.

Lubrication

1. Turn the engine "OFF", park the motorcycle on its main stand and shift the transmission into
neutral.
2. Lubricate the drive chain by applying liberal amount of SAE 90 oil.

performance and longer life.
Note
Visit authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop for inspection, cleaning, lubrication and adjustment
of drive chain at every 2000 kms.

Sealed Type

The service life of the drive chain is dependent upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor
maintenance can cause premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets. The drive
chain should be checked and lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection. Under severe usage, or
when the motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty areas, more frequent maintenance will be
necessary.
Inspection

Turn the engine off, raise the rear wheel OFF the ground by placing a support block
under the engine and shift the transmission into neutral.

Check the drive chain slack in the lower drive chain run midway between the sprockets.
Drive chain slack should be adjusted to allow the follow vertical movement by hand.

Drive chain slack : 25 mm

Rotate the rear wheel. Stop. Check the drive chain slack. Repeat this procedure several times.
Drive chain slack should remain constant. If the chain is slack only in certain sections, some
links are kinked or binding. Binding and kinking can be eliminated by frequent lubrication.
Note

Excessive drive chain slack may damage the bottom of the frame or the chain could come
off the sprockets.

Rotate the rear wheel slowly and inspect the drive chain and sprockets for any of the
following conditions.

Drive Chain

Damaged rollers

Loose pins

Dry or rusted links

Kinked or binding links

Excessive wear

Improper adjustment

Damaged or missing O-rings
